Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

So I’ve been on it about 4 hours today and finally reached chapter 3.

Bit of a tip - go find the wild white Arabian horse on the left hand shore of lake Isabella in the top left of the map. It’s like having the best car in gta and makes travelling a lot easier and more enjoyable. It’s a twat of a ride and make sure you wrap up warm as there’s lots of snow and don’t do what I did and save the game just before you try lasso it as when you restart the fucker had vanished and does not respawn even though I camped and waited about an hour.

Found a tip on a forum to go back to valentine and spend the night in the hotel to make it reappear - I did sadly but got the bastard in the end when it reappeared. But took an age to ride there and back.

The white bison is also up there.

I’m going to stick to main story only now. Honest....

I finally managed to craft the legend of the east satchel, no more running out of space for carrying things for me.

Also did some of the challenges, killed 5 kougars with my bow and skinned them, picked 5 mushrooms and fed them to my hoss, the remaining challenges all look like hard work so I'll probably just stick to the story myself now, along with doing a few of the legendary animal challenges on the way.

That mushroom picking challenge sounds interesting....

Finally made chapter 3. All I can say is the swamp land and audio are some of the best.

Anyone figure out how to drop or sell your guns? Who needs to cycle through 8 rifles ffs.

Does gunsmith buy them ?

I only use two of them. Deadeye mechanism has changed again to a different method- bloody annoying how it changes and you have to suss it out again.

I’ve just been fishing with Dutch and another guy.

Tried 3 and no one offers to buy. Can't even figure a way to 'drop' them. The wheel settings are always changing when you dismount with no option to designate which two stay on your back or stay in the saddle? Usually have to dismount..turn around looking for Lb meanwhile you're standing there with a bow being shot up .

Well tonight I got my Arabian Hoss, I took some photos of some alligators for that dude who always gets your help whilst he's taking pictures, I caught a legendary fish, I killed 2 legendary animals and I robbed a bank....I think that is about it, all in all that has took me about 4 hours, this game really eats into your time.

I want to crack on with the story but at the same time now I want to really start pressing on with the challenges, I still haven't managed to kill 3 people in 10 seconds with the throwing knives yet, fucking solid that one is, I'm doing pretty well on the others though.

Geezers who stay in high rise Las Vegas hotels and don't like country music maybe :S
